The Cartographers’ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateurs—all are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.

Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

Pure Steam - New PF Steampunk Setting

Hello! Please let me start this off by apologizing if this is not the appropriate avenue for this request. I'm new here (how ya doin', nice to meet ya).

I'm the creator of Pure Steam, an alternate history steampunk setting for Pathfinder. We have hit our funding goal on Kickstarter. Now we're onto producing our artwork!

I'm looking for campaign cartographers. We need approximately 20 maps from world, continent, regional, local, and tactical. They will be black and white for our first production. This is an alternate history of this world, so the maps should have a 1890s aesthetic, and be largely based on our world at that time (major city sizes and locations, lakes, rivers, continental outlines).

Hello BomarrPunk,
At the top of this forum thread (and yes you are in the right part of the forum for requests) there is a sticky with information on how to put in a request. Have a look at it and fill in missing information, it will make it much easier for you to get interested cartographers on the hook. Especially it is a good idea to look around and see if there are any maps in a particular style that you want this made in, so the person jumping in on the project knows if he or she is capable to do it.
However it looks like a very cool and interesting world you are about to create
